This was my, "Hmm, maybe Comexim can make me a black unpadded full cup bra" on-a-whim purchase. I never actually know if they read the notes when I place an order on their website, but so far, they haven't done me wrong. Much to my surprise, they actually came through and made me a custom black Eve bra, just like I requested! (I was half-expecting it to be another white bra, which would have been fine.)
So, the pros: the fit is lovely and supportive, and the design on the top of the cup, while slightly different from the regular white Eve, is nicely understated. The band fits a ... bit tighter than the white version; what it is about black bras that make them fit tighter? Something in the dye?
The cons: the straps, URGH! I love the stretchy, comfy straps on my white Eves and Emilys, but this black one came with the same type they use for their plunge styles. They feel itchy and uncomfortable to me. They must not have the stretchy style straps in black, which it disappointing.
Overall, I'm very pleased with my black Eve, except for the straps. So if you decide to order one from Comexim and hate their regular straps like I do, just be prepared. https://d28qt14g3opchh.cloudfront.net/smileys/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" /> I'd be curious if they would make other colors too. Might be worth looking into!

I loved the white Eve straps, too! I will avoid the itchy black ones, too. High temperatures are required for black dyes, and the fabric shrinks in reaction to the temperature.
